NFL Free Agents 2018: Latest Rumors on DeMarco Murray and More

A week after free agency’s legal-tampering period, the majority of players have signed and are getting ready to meet with their new teammates.

But there are still some players that are making their rounds with teams around the league.

For some, players may take their time in making a decision, some may be hoping and praying they land a deal at all and some may need to wait until after the NFL draft or for injuries to land contracts.

Playing in the NFL can be a cruel business sometimes.

However, these three players should land deals sooner rather than later.

Of course, we’re going to talk about running back DeMarco Murray, but we’ll also cover a wide receiver and a special teams extraordinaire.

Dolphins Host Murray

Although running back Kenyan Drake broke out in a big way for the Fins in 2017, the team appears to be looking to add another running back to the fold.

According to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post, the Dolphins hosted Murray on Sunday. This is the veteran’s third reported meeting, with the other two being the Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

While the two are in no way connected, this feels a lot like when the team brought in Arian Foster alongside young running back Jay Ajayi.

At age 30, Murray hasn’t totally run his course as a running back in the NFL after being released by the Tennessee Titans, but hopefully the Dolphins allow Drake to be the primary ball-carrier at first as he showed he can be the No. 1 guy.

Murray is a fine fit on paper for the Dolphins who, outside of Drake, have no running back depth, but they should use Murray sparingly if they bring him in.

We saw what happened with Foster and Ajayi when they were in the same backfield—let the youngun’ take control.
